Is the Scrum Board Feminine?
(2023)
The so-called agile movement was formed to stop the "quasi-Taylorization" especially of software development. It could be described as a kind of a grassroots movement that aims to act as a counterbalance to bureaucratization and technocentrism in the working processes of developers. The key idea behind Scrum is that instead of working as isolated individuals, separated from their actual work product, developers now operate in teams, which are the core component of their work and organizational processes (Cockburn and Highsmith 2001; Junker et al. 2021). Agile teams use the Scrum board (Figure 14.1) to plan and estimate their work tasks for the next time period, usually lasting 2-4 weeks (the so-called sprint). e inquire whether the Scrum board can be seen as a feminine tool in software development, which is still a highly androcentric field. Is it a tool by means of which female empowerment can materialize, and does it contribute to other aspects of gender equity in the world of work?
